More than two in five Brits (41 percent) think a slow internet connection is a bigger problem than NHS waiting times or crime levels, says O2.

Research by the mobile network revealed that only 14 percent of Brits were most concerned about NHS waiting times and 26 percent were frustrated by crime levels.

However, 36 percent admitted they cared about poor customer service (36 percent).

"It's clear from this poll that the British public is getting increasingly frustrated with the UK's broadband services," said Felix Geyr, head of O2 Home Broadband.

"As the new government comes in, and it looks to get the UK online and connected by 2020, we think that now is the time for all ISPs to change their ways and try to eliminate as many of these daily frustrations for our customers as we can."

Sensible Briton said: Comments,Sensible Briton,Chris Ellis you are full of Labour verbal diarrhea- probably as a result to a dubious/poorly qualified migrant doctor employed by the NHS as it is cheaper to import doctors than train them domestically.One can actually live far better with broadband than NHS- with broadband you can consult the world's finest physicians and latest research. With NHS- you can very easily die from flesh eating bacteria or airborne virus from the 3rd world hygiene and nursing service.I would much rather the option of Broadband than have yet another ninny from Africa/India misdiagnose me and give a me a nastier dose of the flu than I came in with. And no feral children either.
